Patent Validity Analysis: Our Approach

Novelty is an absolute legal standard and is often incorrectly argued in front of patent offices. A poorly reasoned novelty analysis can often weaken stronger inventive step analysis attacks. Our patent strength analysis errs on the side of caution and returns a finding of a lack of novelty only when we are certain that the analysis is correct.

This is where our approach truly excels. We go to the heart of a patent, performing a thorough inventive step analysis to scrutinize its alleged inventive contribution. Our process is designed to uncover the most compelling evidence for obviousness through a robust novelty analysis, providing you with the clarity and confidence to build a winning patent strength analysis strategy.

Our platform is capable of rapidly determining whether claim amendments meet the “gold standard” requirement as established by the Enlarged Boards of Appeal at the European Patent Office and recently approved by the Unified Patent Court .

When a new patent application threatens your business, a passive response is not an option. We provide a proactive solution that turns a potential liability into a strategic advantage. Our services go beyond merely delivering prior art and a validity analysis; we conduct comprehensive inventive step analysis and novelty analysis to transform that intelligence into powerful Third Party Observations. Our team crafts these submissions to be highly effective and well-received by patent offices worldwide, including the European Patent Office.

When your patent faces a challenge in opposition or litigation, a clear, unbiased assessment is critical. We conduct a thorough and independent novelty analysis of every document cited against your patent. Then, by meticulously performing an inventive step analysis on the prior art relative to your patent claims, we deliver a strategic roadmap. Our patent strength analysis provides an accurate evaluation of your claims' validity and identifies the most compelling arguments to overcome the prior art, giving you the clarity and confidence to win your case.

As opponents challenging the validity of a patent, this analysis can also be used to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your novelty and inventive step attacks.  We pinpoint exactly which elements of your case require supporting evidence (e.g., supporting experimental data), helping you build a stronger position in opposition and litigation.

 Stop letting office actions slow you down. Our expert team swiftly analyzes office actions and cited prior art, delivering comprehensive and compelling responses at highly competitive rates so you can secure your patents faster.
